I am an international student with a Student visa. Can I take a break from my studies during term-time?
You are on a full time face to face programme, we can’t approve students to leave the country for any period of time during teaching, students should plan their visits home during the set breaks detailed in the academic timetable. Additionally, you are not allowed to submit work from abroad as this is a face to face programme and your visa being dependent upon you needing to be here to study.
Attendance is monitored, if you are not registering your attendance you will receive correspondence from the visa engagement team.
We cannot stop you from leaving however this may impact your visa, your studies and ability to remain on the programme. Please seek further advice from the Immigration Team.
